Hey, i looked through the other thread and it seems that you have gone and changed the conductance of the pin you bent.

This means that the amount of voltage going through the pin has changed as a result of you changing the width of the pin at the point where it bent.

I did the same thing and the exact same issue was popping up for me. After calling up ASUS a number of times, they recommended an RMA. Your CPU will not convey power through that contact anymore so that part of the CPU will receive less power.

If i were you i would just RMA it, they replaced mine, cycle was 10 days or so.
